Casa Luce embodies a significant renovation of a 1960s mid-century modern home in Arizona by HK Associates. Originally built by architect Tom Gist, the home had beautiful features but required extensive updates for modern living. The redesign focused on enhancing natural light and integrating the interior with the desert landscape, removing obstructive elements to create an open-plan layout. Innovative engineering enabled a floating ceiling, dramatically improving the home's spatial perception while maintaining respect for its historical character and design elements, such as the original earthen walls and views of the Santa Rita Mountains.
The redesign of Casa Luce enhances natural light and connects the interior with its desert surroundings, creating a modern home respectful of its original architecture.
HK Associates expertly balanced modern needs with historical significance, transforming the 1960s structure while preserving elements like the earthen walls and iconic views.
